The American Athletic Conference takes center stage with the East Carolina Pirates and Tulsa Golden Hurricane clashing as the only game on the Week 12 college football Thursday night calendar.

Thursday College Football Player Props
Rahjai Harris Over 48.5 Rushing Yards
I really like Rahjai Harris’ rushing yardage prop Thursday night against a bad Tulsa team. The East Carolina offense has been rejuvenated by Katin Houser at quarterback and that has opened running lanes for their standout running back in recent weeks.
While he didn’t get many touches last time out, it was an odd game in which the Pirates scored quickly on several early drives, putting the game away immediately.

While they should win here, it’ll be more of a slow burn rather than an all-out assault in the first quarter. If Harris gets just 10-12 carries, he should easily go over this relatively low line.
Cooper Legas Under 229.5 Passing Yards
While Tulsa has continued to struggle, the Golden Hurricane has found some consistency on offense with Cooper Legas at quarterback. However, East Carolina’s passing defense is on a completely different level than the units of the UAB Blazers and UTSA Roadrunners.
I haven’t seen odds for Legas’ interception props, but he’s going to make some mistakes, and I’d consider an over there if the odds aren’t extremely short. Even with injuries in the secondary, East Carolina can make life hard for opposing quarterbacks.
